Post-Graduate Links Page


Looking into post-graduate training
There are several good websites listing current post-graduate courses and training. We are not going to reinvent the wheel by repeating this information, so here are the links to find out more:


www.healthtraining.org This is a site maintained by Medicus Mundi in Switzerland and looks like it is regularly updated. It has an extensive list of post-graduate courses in international health-related topics. You can search their site by course subject, location and institute.


www.hero.ac.uk Hero (Higher Education and Research Opportunities in the United Kingdom) lists all UK universities and colleges, including the Royal Colleges which are responsible for clinical training. If you are planning overseas work and are currently engaged in specialist training, your Royal College will specify how you will need to arrange this. It profiles all UK universities, which is useful if you want to find out more about research and courses.


www.prospects.ac.uk This a website offering a guide to planning, funding and finding post-graduate courses in the UK. It is useful for a general overview of post-graduate education and also lists UK courses.


www.troped.org TropEd is a network of European institutions for higher education in international health. It collaborates closely with institutions in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The innovative approach is based on mobility of students between the institutions, the exchange of experiences in different disciplines and the establishment of a common standard in education and training.
